you seem to have an on going problem finding the political section
you have a problem: not posting things of revelance inside the thread, where it counts
The fact that this thread is in the lounge makes my comment relevant
you're one person out of thousands here: fuck off buddy, go subconsciously vent your problems through typing stupid needless posts in other peoples' threads
I wasn't aware that fuck ups graduate from Yale. By the way, what ivy league school did you get your degree from?Quote:

how let his companies lose millions not only in Texas, but in the Middle
East - [in Houston he his company produced 993rd out of all the
companies in Texas]
and see how he still made millions, off the tax-payers: by getting
such sweet deals like acquiring the Texas Rangers, and also selling stock
right before his companies went under :thumbsup:
i got into a decent college with my decent grades
but that's me: broke parents, broke myself, grateful to go

please read the article before you regurtiate the bullshit you spill out of your fingers and upon this thread.
incase you don't like to read... here is a hour long moive of his history...
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...988631&pl=true

on his spoon fed life.. like kerry and the others
rich get richer poor get poorer....easy
dont need to waste an hour to see that

^^ another point you could have included in your prior post w/o wasting another....
The truth about G.W. Bush is that he was
always ashamed of himself for not amounting
to more than he did....
read about the part in the article on why he gave
up drinking...
Bush was just a lonely lost boy,
who had no control as Governer of Texas (the only public pos. he held),
who only acquired that position b/c of crowd pleasing
and b/c of the genius Karl Rove
and catapulted his way to President Candidate
and Republicans flock to his side as if he was so great
he took the chance and RAN!
i take back all i said about george being the blame
he is just a puppet (in every sense of the word) for Mr. Dick Cheney and the
true masterminds behind what went on
Bush is too stupid to contend what they wanted him to do
with just a "You're going to be one of the best President's ever"
from someone in his administration, he let it all happen w/o a peep
have you seen the movie Skulls? that real one that came out with the guy from Dawson's Creek... My sister loved this movie, it came out about 5-10 years ago... I just hope Bush is like the kid in it, who knows he a puppet and that it's just his dad and people around him that are douches. The kid ends up killing his dad and going for the right choice and the Skulls turn out to stop harboring corruption...
man if movies were only true... But I agree black, I think he's puppet more than a threat. I atleast hope he is... who knows maybe he'll change to, once he realizes it... I mean he has to have some personal accountablity right?? Do you really think that he can keep on this path without doing a little personal thinking?? 70% of the country doesn't like him, he has to know that... I'm still hoping that he wakes up one morning and realizes he's been a puppet and grows his own backbone... but like I said only in the movies right...
xblackdogx.....I tend to agree with this. This doesn't belong in the lounge and you're aware of this. Up to this point I've been moving the threads but from here on your political threads posted in the lounge will just be deleted.Quote:

The fake moon landing thread is STILL IN THE LOUNGE (plus others that don't belong in the lounge), is that not political?
spare your biased bullshit of regulation from my threads please
I'm not discussing politics here so let's get that VERY clear. If you need a little time off to evalutate where you should post material just keep it up. If this were a political debate I'd put up with the ball busting...this isn't!Quote:

you have been doing a great job, but when 120 people talk in the lounge and 10 in here, I want to post something in there sometimes too... We should leave it to you to choose, but it's not just Bush that is political... perhaps you should pull more threads in here and help increase the traffic and voices in here... I think it if comes close to politics bring it here... let the lounge fill up with the 'how much is a gram' posts...
Just my opinion... you're doing a great job though... hat's off to you... your 'take over' has been very good...
LOL....my takeover???...CLASSIC!!!!! Sounds like I invaded a country....LOL...good one dude...still laughing!Quote:

Another thing is if another member makes a complaint about the placement as was done in this thread.
Have a good one!:thumbsup:
i will not continue to blatantly post things in the loungeQuote:

BACK TO THE FUCKING THREAD TOPIC NOW!!!!!!!1
i didn't mean 'take over' as anything bad... you're being as impartial as you should be... sorry if it came out wrong... there just wasn't a Mod doing what you are... which is why I used the 'take over' term is all... just keep doing what you're doing... you're doing it well... sorry again if that came out wrong...

I move them things on a daily basis believe me! With the threads you just mentioned it's an easy call: there was a thread in the lounge about bouncing Bush where it was more of a game so I left it.Quote:

Kerry's as bad as Bush and I think that's what a lot of people realized... it is sad that money is the only thing you need to get a chance to be president...

People donā??t come down here because they donā??t want to talk about that shit. For me itā??s because I loose interest in the topic and when you talk about politics things always get ugly and personal :D which is fine by meā?¦. but it makes me tired half the time I feel like Iā??m arguing with sock puppets and I see it as a total waste of time.
But Iā??m glad to see that you all have worked things out. Peace. :thumbsup:

if you don't deem Bush's Biography ( a purely laughable subject ) adequate to be placed in the Lounge - friendly talk about nothing imparticular - that's your problem, not mine.
all i ask of you: to not expose your dislikes about where I PLACE MY THREADS, in my thread, when you can bring it up in the feedback section thus not interupting the chain of responses i wanted to stem from the article on which i read (and wanted other people to read)
that said: no hard feelings, as i am not one to have them in the first place. it just gets me a little angry when threads seem to have no value of what is being originally discussed: by being hijacked with replies such as yours targetting an entirely different crowd to bestow their angry thoughts about where the thread should have been placed.
have a good one, ma'am :thumbsup:
Kerry is about as close a "cousin" to Bush as millions of Americans, including myself, are to Bush. I share several common ancestors with Bush, including Mayflower passengers John Howland, (his wife) Elizabeth Tilley, and her parents. I am Bush's 9th cousin, 3X removed - which is equivalent to a 12th cousin. Kerry, I believe, is Bush's 10th or 11th cousin. I also have other colonial ancestors in common with Bush, as do millions of others in this country. It is believed that nobody that has roots far back in England can be anything less than a 25th cousin to any other person that has roots going back many generations. The gene pool in Colonial New England was much smaller, hence more relationships.Quote:

It's really not relevant or of any use at all - just interesting to know about.
I also share common Mayflower ancestry with Ulysses Grant, FDR, Alan B. Shepard, Jr. First American in space, fifth man to walk on the moon (first to golf on the moon.), Alec Baldwin (and brother Stephen), Humphrey Bogart, Richard Gere, Joseph Smith. Mormon founder and leader, .Ralph Waldo Emerson. Richard Nixon, President Gerald Ford, and Winston Churchill are descendants of brothers of Mayflower passenger John Howland - which also qualifies me as their relative since the Howland brothers had the same father.

It has been calculated that if all of Bush's "cousins" voted for him, he'd win by a total landslide - that's how extensive the genealogical links to many Americans in his background are.

Correction - I meant that English people with ancestral roots that go back many generations are all related as no more than 25th cousins, and often even closer.Quote:

how did you figure out your history? I've looked for mine, but it's a rare name, and I believe the history in america is only 3-4 generations. My father went to Italy to look around, and he found some of his relatives. He passed away quickly after that however and it's always been something interesting to me. I find it weird who's all related and the pathology of it all.
Kerry always reminded me of Bush and I never understood why the Democrates chose him to run... I didn't know they were related untill recently, but they are both interested in the same things... money and power... Maybe one day soon we'll have someone incharge who wants a better world than to better themselve...
do you know why it is that all there ancestors are from the other states than Texas and Florida... and why Jeb and George decided to take over those to states first??

We all have thousands of ancestors from that far back, because each generation's number of great grandparents doubles. In other words, you have 2 g. parents, 4 gr. grandparents, 8 gg grandparents, 16 ggg g.parents, 32 4X gr. grandparents, 64 5 X great grandparents (for me 4-6 was about the time of the Revolution), 128 6X gr grandparents, 256 ggggggg grandparents, so you can see that this number soon goes into the thousands.
I started tracing my ancestry with a book about a Revolutionary War soldier's ancestors - one of which is me. The book was published in 1915, and my grandmother, then a girl, was included - along with her parents, grandparents, etc. Somebody, in the past, probably a distant cousin, submitted parts of this genealogy to the Mormon's LDS genealogy database FamilyHistoryWebsite for posterity. Once I had some names, I went online and it took me back to the Mayflower - and many other surprising discoveries about my ancestry. I took it further and did ā??realā? research by going to county courthouses, graveyards, various genealogical societies and repositories of information, ordering census information, and other methods. I can, and have, ā??provenā? my ancestry not only to myself, but to the satisfaction of a number of organizations that I joined that required iron-clad proof of whatever qualifying ancestry youā??re using to become a member. As my research was helped by earlier people that did similar searches, I hope that some of what I have done will help others along in their quests. We owe those pioneers and trailblazers a lot - and genealogy is a great way to honor them by keeping their memory, and hard work and sacrifices, alive through an outlet like this.
so come on....what were the surprising discoveries??...u cant post that without giving some more details...:) :)
There's too much to write here - and it's also pretty self-indulgent, but here's a few items.Quote:

It's mostly the colonial New England ancestry that was so interesting, and some of my ancestors were involved in settling in Martha's Vineyard, and one, named Thomas Mayhew, was the first governor of Nantucket.
I didn't inherit any Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket property, lol.
I knew nothing when I started other than ancestors born in the 19th and 20th century, and one Revolutionary War soldier, born 1753, who had come with the German auxiliarry forces (known as "Hessians") that was captured and subsequently joined the American side. He was the one that I started researching, and that led me to many hundreds of other ancestors before, and after, him - including a handful of other Revolutionary War Soldiers.
It's interesting when you can find their war records, and sometimes even height, religion, units that they belonged to, etc. It makes history much more interesting because it's "personalized".
thanks for the info... i think i'm gonna start looking into my history...
lol... i used the term pathology for bush and kerry more for the literal meaning rather than a serious one... more in the term of " The scientific study of the nature of disease and its causes, processes, development, and consequences. " I don't consider poeple like them much more than a disease that have spread though out the human population... too bad they are also in power... I'm a huge backer for sterilzing stupid people...
